I noticed this posted by someone over on the Blindman's Blues Forum in contact with John Tefteller. Looks like Tefteller has struck again (can't confirm as I'm not in touch with him). A little too late for the Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of.

"While here I received an e-mail from a woman in East Texas who bought some
records at an estate sale. When she named them I immediately went to look at
them and I am now the proud owner of an E- copy of Willie Brown "Future
Blues" Paramount 13090 and a similar condition Blind Blake Paramount 13113
"What A Low Down Place The Jailhouse Is" The Brown is now the world's best
copy and the Blake is only the second copy ever found with the first being
so worn as to not be much use. So, I have found a couple more to shake up
the blues world with and I am still hunting! They are still out there!
Also, I found an Okeh advertising sheet with a nice ad for Mississippi John
Hurt's "Frankie" and so I now have something on him to use for a Calendar
page!
Okay I read your article with great interest. Thanks! Yes, it seems like it might
go someplace with all that support...my big hope is that a few more of the
"lost" Paramounts will turn up as a result of all this!
Yes, you can announce my recent finds...no problem.
Thanks!"
